Claire McKinney
Claire McKinney, is the chemistry instructor at the NYC branch. She was never a student at the Gironde Institute or an employee of Phoenix Industries; she arranged to have her baby brother (Jerry) enrolled when she realized he was a mutant and needed a more adaptive learning environment. She's trained as a helicopter pilot but never bothered to learn much about fixed-wing craft. She also has a knack for knowing the relevant weapon laws for almost any nation where a mercenary might want to chase down a minion of the Hammer Empire.
Relationships
History
Their parents have not been a factor in Claire's and Jerry's lives at least since Jerry was an awkward fifteen-year-old. Knowing that she is not suited by temperament to raise her kid brother even if her career made that possible, Claire tackled the research project to find him just the right mentor with just the right living situation, and she checked in on an irregular basis between contracts.
If Claire could have given Jerry what she calls the "sitcom standard" living situation, with a comfortable home in a suburb and family holidays and the occasional trip to the Aquarium, she would have.
They both readily admit that it would have been absolutely terrible.
As it is, they clearly have a lot of respect and affection for one another. But "my sibling" is not the first, second, or even third person that either one consults when troubled.
